Cisco warns AI agents and advanced models are accelerating cyberattacks

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins warned that advanced AI models like Anthropic's Claude Mythos are accelerating cyberattacks to an unprecedented pace, with exploit timelines shrinking from weeks to minutes. The dual-use nature of these models means they can both find and exploit vulnerabilities, a capability already reflected in an 89% increase in AI-assisted attacks. Compounding this threat, the rise of autonomous AI agents is dramatically expanding the attack surface for enterprises, generating significantly more network traffic and interacting with critical systems. AI
